Eugene Khayman, co-founder of Million Dollar Sellers (MDS), who leads the "Gimme Five" campaign aimed at pushing Amazon to give sellers some fee relief after years of rising costs. Thinking about taking some risk off the table? Or are you looking at taking an extended break from e-commerce in general? Know what your e-commerce business is worth with Quiet Light Brokerage. The gap between paying for inventory and selling it is where stockouts are born. Onramp Funds closes it with funding that moves with your sales. Built for sellers already doing $10K a month or more across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and TikTok Shop. See how much you qualify for at Onramp Funds. With changes to DD+7, Subscribe and Save, and the additional seller fees tacked on this year, third-party sellers on Amazon are quickly discovering that it might be more profitable to take their products elsewhere. And Amazon has noticed. Eugene also talks about what he's noticed after years of being in MDS, like the shifts toward DTC and Tiktok Shop and how smaller operators have been the most creative in growing their business.

Late inbound shipments are quietly eroding your margins before you even see the invoice. As peak season approaches, the fee clock is ticking, and every day of delay adds up. If you spend the next thirty minutes with me, you will stop guessing about hidden costs and start protecting your cash flow before October 15. I was reading a Marketplace Pulse piece on Amazon FBA peak ship deadlines, and it hit home. Most sellers treat late inbound as a logistics issue. It is a margin issue. When Amazon shifts to peak inbound processing fees, your net margin takes the hit, not just your shipping budget. This is not a news recap. This is how to move inventory without bleeding profit. You will learn how to audit your Business Reports for units per day on every SKU. You will see how to calculate the true cost of rushing shipments versus paying the peak fee. You will get a clear move to protect your margin before the deadline hits. This episode covers Amazon FBA peak ship deadlines, late inbound costs, and Amazon seller fees. It is for sellers at every level who want to keep their net margin intact during the busiest time of year. Listen now to stop losing money on delays you did not plan for.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) reads his Bits about Money essay on how credit cards make money. The prompt was a listener who wondered how a card can include free travel insurance for someone who never carries a balance. He covers the four ways a card earns revenue (net interest, interchange, fees and marketing contributions), and explains why rewards competition makes some customers in the middle of the credit score ladder persistently unprofitable. He also explains why Europe's interchange cap left cards at about half of electronic payments, while Japan's uncapped interchange quietly pays for the rest of its consumer banking. In a new postscript, he walks through what a proposed 10% APR cap would mean for cardholders at the low end of the market, and how First Republic made sub-10% unsecured loans work by treating them as a way to win deposits.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/why-banks-pay-you-to-use-their-credit-cards/ –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

What is up, y'all! Welcome back to another soulful, candid, and hilarious Wednesday with your favorites, Mike and Tiff, on Damn We Grown! You know you've reached a “certain age” when bills aren't just arriving every month—they feel like the opps waiting to jump you the moment you check the mail. But this week, we're setting aside the everyday grind to talk about things that simply should be common sense, even though society insists on doing the exact opposite. We're breaking down a viral list of everyday rules that just make sense: Hospital Parking: Why charging people to park while visiting sick family or giving birth is straight-up diabolical. The 18-Year-Old Myth: Why expecting an 18-year-old to have life figured out is wild when their prefrontal cortex isn't even done cooking until 25! The Parenting "License": A spicy debate on whether raising the next generation should require a certification—or at least some skin in the game. The Domestic Violence Offender List & Dating Background Checks: Mike and Tiff pitch a million-dollar app idea: TSA PreCheck for dating! Hotel Checkout Shenanigans: Why check-in is at 3:00 PM but they're kicking you out by 10:00 AM. Who Gets Paid What: The real reason teachers, nurses, and firefighters deserve the big bags over entertainers. Before diving into the debate, we catch you up on the weekend vibe: Tiff's creative journey with her new photography page (@teatodd2photos), our 85mil photo walk through Gardena with Zay Monae, Maddi's growing eye behind the lens, and how a quick craving at the Domo Cafe turned into an accidental $81 bill for three burgers!

How do you explain everything that could go wrong with a root canal — without the patient walking out?Why does a signed consent form protect you far less than you think?What should you say in the exact moment after you tell a patient the fee?And which single word is quietly sabotaging every future conversation you have about maintenance?This is Part 2 of our communication masterclass with Dr Zak Kara, principal dentist at Smile Stories in Bournemouth, who coaches and mentors dentists on exactly these conversations. We tackle two questions sent in by the community: how to explain risks without discouraging patients from treatment, and how to present fees — including future maintenance and complications — clearly and confidently. Expect two live role-plays (a molar root canal and a lower wisdom tooth), a respectful disagreement about whether to call people patients or clients, and the fee-presentation sequence I wish I'd had years ago, when I hated every part of talking about money.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Could They Retell It at Home?Measure a consultation by one question: was I understood? Not conversion, not uptake — understanding. The ethical approach tends to deliver the conversion anyway.The practical test: when the patient gets home and someone asks “How was the dentist today?”, can they summarise in a few sentences exactly what the appointment was about and what they need to do next? If not, the explanation isn't finished — however thorough it felt from your side of the chair. That clarity is a skill, and it gets built deliberately.What You'll Take From This EpisodeSix moves for explaining risk — how to make every risk proportionate, personal and paired with your plan to reduce it.A root canal consent, live — plain-English wording, an honest success rate, and the analogy that makes recovery make sense.Common vs rare risks — when a risk deserves a sentence and when it deserves a diagram.The fee presentation sequence — seven steps from the reason to the objection, and why the pause matters most.Words to ban — why fees beat prices and costs, and what to say instead of “permanent.”Maintenance without the awkwardness — setting shared responsibility up front so “redo it for free” never comes up.Highlights of This Episode00:00 TEASER00:48 How to Explain Risks and Fees to Dental Patients04:10 The Biggest Lever in Dental Communication06:53 How to Attract the Right Patients to Your Chair14:29 What Makes a Super Associate?19:58 How to Explain Treatment Risks Without Scaring Patients26:22 Root Canal Consent: A Live Role-Play33:59 Using Analogies to Explain Occlusion and TMD Risk36:08 Wisdom Tooth Consent: Common vs Rare Risks41:07 Why Consent Is a Process, Not a Signature45:45 Midroll51:34 Patients or Clients?

Learn how condo and HOA fees change the math on renting vs. home ownership, and how to resist a pricey tech upgrade. Is buying a home with a hefty condo or HOA fee worth the money compared with renting? Hosts Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola talk with Ryan Sterling, CEO of NerdWallet Wealth Partners, about a listener trying to factor condo fees into the rent vs. buy decision. You'll hear why the idea that renting is “throwing money away” overlooks the costs homeowners might not get back, how long it could take for buying to break even at different mortgage rates, and why the payoff of owning a home can be as much about emotions as finances. Then, how do you talk yourself out of a big purchase you don't really need? Sean and Elizabeth weigh the pull of Apple's new $2,000 folding phone and a high-end smartwatch, why monthly installment plans and phone leasing can make pricey tech feel cheaper than it is, and how to tell whether a splurge lines up with your values.

In this episode, Craig Jeffery and Stephan Ireland of Open Fees examine why bank fee management is easy to avoid but costly to ignore. They discuss what account analysis statements can reveal about unnecessary services, internal behavior, and control gaps, and how automation can turn a tedious monthly review into actionable insight for managing banking relationships.

Most advisors think that lower prices are more attractive to their ideal clients. But this actually goes against everything we know about the brain, psychology, and neuroscience. In fact, it's not just true that we value higher priced goods more than lower priced goods, but the same product delivered at two different price points produces two different client experiences. In other words, your clients will value you and your services, have less buyer's remorse, and be more likely to tell their family and friends about you if you charge more! So, listen to today's episode now to discover how you can charge higher fees and have happier and more satisfied clients because of it. Show highlights include: How doubling the price of your services can actually make it easier to sell (with a story to demonstrate the underlying psychology of why this works) (0:54) Why charging MORE (and not less) lowers your clients' risk of developing buyer's remorse (4:44) 4 signals your ideal prospects are subconsciously looking for when deciding to hire you or a competitor (5:41) How offering "free consultations" hurts your prospect-to-client pipeline and devours your time and energy for almost no return (7:16) 2 studies that prove that price doesn't just change what people believe, it changes what actually happens to them (8:34) Why charging lower rates actively harms your clients' results (this means you're doing them a service by charging as high as possible!) (9:32) The "fee is part of the product" mindset shift that can dramatically transform your business, your clients' results, and your bank account by the end of this year (12:08) How quantifying the costs of your prospects' problems before dropping your fees can help you charge twice as much (and turn more prospects into paying clients) (14:34) Why uttering this one sentence does more for perceived value than some fancy office ever will (the main reason it works? it feeds the brain the exact heuristic it uses to judge quality) (19:47) 3 big problems financial advisors face when trying to use premium pricing that backfires on them (20:47) Since you listen to this podcast, I want to give you a gift: If you subscribe to the Inner Circle Newsletter, I'll send you a collection of seven "objection busting" and copyright free emails, personally written by me, that you can use right away to begin getting more clients.

Why are so many chiropractors undercharging for their services? In this episode, Brad Cost and Dr. Jay Greenstein sit down with Dr. Ray Foxworth, chiropractor and CEO of ChiroHealthUSA, to break down the complicated relationship between chiropractic fees, insurance reimbursement, allowable rates, and practice profitability.Dr. Ray Foxworth explains how chiropractors can become anchored to low fees through chiropractic school, insurance contracts, historical fee schedules, and fear of losing patients. He also explores how widespread undercharging can influence reimbursement benchmarks and make it harder for practices to negotiate from a position of strength.The conversation covers how to set a chiropractic fee schedule, understanding insurance allowables, calculating practice overhead, determining the true cost of delivering care, cash fees, PPO contracts, managed care, and the importance of knowing your practice numbers.Dr. Foxworth also shares why understanding your overhead and desired profit margin is essential to building a sustainable chiropractic practice and explains how chiropractors can use available data and tools to make more informed decisions about their fees.In this episode:• Why chiropractors may be undercharging for their services• How chiropractic school can create unrealistic fee expectations• The impact of insurance allowables and contracted rates• What “price anchoring” means for chiropractic practices• How to calculate the true cost of delivering care• Why your billed fee and allowable amount are not the same thing• How overhead and profit margin should influence your fee schedule• The relationship between low fees and insurance reimbursement• Cash fees, PPO contracts, and managed care• Using practice data to build a sustainable fee schedule• Why “no profit, no mission” matters for healthcare practicesIf you're a chiropractor, chiropractic student, practice owner, or healthcare professional, this episode offers a practical look at the financial side of running a sustainable practice while navigating insurance reimbursement and changing healthcare costs.To connect with Ray, you can email him at DrFoxworth@gmail.com or visit his website at chirohealthusa.com.
